CECIL PARKER – “You’re everything to me” (1984)

A delightful ear candy that sounds like The Stylistics at their best. Originally appeared on the B side of his 7” single “I think I’ll tell her” released on Philly Sound Works label in 1984. Many thanks to my friend Apostolis Barpakis (aka SoulLakis) from Volos who discovered this mellow gem.

ROBERTA FLACK – “Loving you” (1981)



Roberta Flack + Marcus Miller = Killer Groove! Taken from the Soundtrack LP “Bustin’ loose” released on MCA Records in 1981. Note that the same song was re-recorded by Marcus on his debut LP “Suddenly” in 1983 but this version here is a knockout.
